Abstract We describe an invasive polypoid carcinosarcoma/sarcomatoid carcinoma arising within a urinary bladder diverticulum in a 65-year-old patient with synchronous, moderately differentiated prostatic adenocarcinoma. Histologically, the diverticular tumor exhibits an admixture of different morphologic components, including invasive high-grade urothelial carcinoma, malignant glandular structures in a cellular background of malignant spindle cells, and areas formed exclusively by spindle and pleomorphic cells. There was full-thickness involvement of the diverticulum with extension of the tumor into the perivesical fat and ipsilateral seminal vesicle. In view of the early invasive behavior of carcinosarcoma/sarcomatoid carcinoma combined with the paucity of the muscular layer in the diverticulum wall, a graver prognosis was expected for this aggressive tumor that occurred in this unusual site.

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare tumor of the urinary bladder accounting for less than 0.5% of all primary urinary bladder tumors. Since the patients were presented with large tumor with extended stages, outcome was found to be poor. In order to improve local control, adjuvant local treatment may be practical. We report a rare case with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the urinary bladder diagnosed with immunuhistochemical (IHC) study and treated with 3D-conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) post-operatively. A 55-year old female patient complained about painless hematuria for 2 months. Computed tomography of the pelvic region revealed tumor and wall thickening at the left posterolateral side of the bladder. Total cystectomy with lymph node dissection and total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salphingo-oopherectomy was performed and histopathological and immunohistochemical findings strongly correlate with sarcomatoid carcinoma. The patient was treated with 3D conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) with a total dose of 59.4 Gy with 1.8 Gy fractional daily doses. Patient was alive without any local recurrence and distant metastasis 10 months after surgery.
